    Verdict

    Temple Of Phebes can follow up a recent course success at the expense of She's Minnie and Cerebus. The record books show Temple Of Phebes as the first ever winner at this course and in fairness to Ed Dunlop's filly, she had it won from some way out. A mark of 80 doesn't suggest that the handicapper is taking too many chances but she is certainly in the progressive category. She's Minnie has campaigned at listed levels in the past so today actually represents something of a drop in class. The market is watched. Cerebus has been a standing dish around Southwell. Her latest run at Doncaster can be safely discounted and she can be a player here if securing a soft lead. Applesnap was comprehensively outclassed at Ascot on her British debut. Piece Of My Heart was a precocious juvenile last term whilst Fiesty Royale is surely much better than her recent form suggests. Another quality race and Temple of Phebes is our selection.
